SFO reports some flight delays today because of rain

Still, forecast for Pleasanton, Tri-Valley shows only chance of rain

Although Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley are expected to be mostly cloudy with a chance of rain today, a San Francisco airport duty manager has warned that passengers flying out of SFO should plan for up to 70-minute delays today due to rainy weather in the Bay Area.

As of about 8 a.m. there were no weather-related delays, duty manager Bob Rotiski said.

The Federal Aviation Administration has implemented a ground-delay program due to local weather, however, which will be in effect at SFO from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., he said.

The delays are only in place for short-haul flights.

Here in Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley, high temperatures today are expected to be in the upper 60s with variable winds of 5 to 20 mph.

Tonight the region is expected to be partly cloudy. Low temperatures in the mid 50s and variable winds of 5 to 10 mph are anticipated.

Monday the region is expected to be mostly cloudy with a chance of rain in the afternoon. High temperatures in the lower 70s and south winds of 5 to 10 mph are anticipated.
